Death Of Leonard Griswold.

About noon Monday, May 9. the peo-
pie of Lancaster were shocked by the
news, brought in haste by a messenger
for the doctor, of the fatal accident at
the Rock mill.
Leonard Griswold, son of Solomon j
and Mrs. j. ID. Griswold was killed
almost instantly by the falling of heavy
timbers with which he was assisting to
repair the flume.
The young man had, until recently,
been engaged in carrying on his mothers
farm in South Lancaster. His father,
in company with John Price owned the
property known as Griswold's mill.
Having recently bought out his partner
Mr. Griswold gave his son a half interest
in the business, which has since been
carried on under the name of Griswold
& Son. April first they gave notice
through the HERALD columns that they
would shut down for repairs. The mill
was being entirely remodeled, with
improved machinery and appliances for
doing finer quality of work. A num-
Der of men were employed under the
direction of mechanic from Dubuque
On the day of the accident they were
placing heavy oak timbers for the tlume,
some of which were leaning against
the building. The unfortunate young
man was working in STOPPING position
when the upright timbers began to fall.
His father seeing the danger called to
him. but it was too late, and the heavy
timbers struck him, telling him to the
ground, their full weight coming upon
the side of his head and shoulder, and
killing him almost instantly.
Mr.. Griswold was young man res
pected by everyone who knew him.
Nothing but good is said of him. Social
ly he was a genial companion and his
principles were unusually strong for SO
young man. A companion who was
with him last Sunday recalls an Incl
dental remark that seems almost like a
premonition of what was to come.
They were making plans for next Sun
day. and when asked if he would join
the company, Mr.. Griswold replied,
Eyes, if | am alive. My father was al
most killed in the mill the other day
and don't know but it will be my turn
next"
The funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at the Rock school house,
south of Lancaster, and were conducted
by Rev. r. Pengilly.
The remains were inferred in the Boice
Prairie Cemetery being followed by a
long procession of sympathizing friends.
The sorrowlng family have the
sincere sympathy of every one in their
great affliction.

The CONNECTING LINK. Geo. w.
Mcpherson, chairman of the town of
Ellenboro, was in the city yesterday.
He says George Whitcher's connecting
link" is now completed, and that teams
can cross the Platte at Ellenboro in
safety over good iron bridge. The
question of whether the road between
Platteville and Lancaster is or is not a
county road, need not be further dis
cussed, but it will be long time before
the heated debates on that momentous
question, in which the member from
Lima won such. high forensic honors,
will be forgotten, or before the term
which he applied TO the proposed
bridge will be dropped.

The disease is characterized by run

DEATH OF Mrs. BENEDIcT.-Y ester
day the sad intelligence was received
of the death of Mrs. Z. j. Benedict at
her home in Dell Rapids, Dakota. So
short time has passed since Mr.. and
Mrs Benedict left Lancaster for their
new home, that it is almost as if some
one in our midst had been takep and
this announcement, will bring to each
one of Mrs Benedict's friends here, sim
cere sorrow. Few particulars of the
sad event have been learned save that
Mrs. Benedict's illness. followed the
illness of the three little girls, who had
been Frustrated with measles two weeks
before, and that worn out with nursing,
she had not strength to resist when the
same disease laid its fatal touch upon
her Proceeding the children's illness,
Mr.. Benedict had very severe attack
of inflammatory rheumatism which had
rendered him quite helpless, so that
double care was thrown upon her. AL
ways frail, though strong in energy and
spirit, this combination of trying cir
cumstances proved too exhausting.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Benedict's
mother passed through Lancaster on
the way to Patch Grove. where the
funeral services were held in the after
noon. Patch Grove is the home of Mrs.
Benedict childhood, and here it seemed
but fitting that she should be laid to
sleep, that the trees, in the little Come
terry 80 familiar in early days, might
sing their requiems over her. Mrs.
Benedict was the daughter of Samuel
Scott. an old resident of Patch Grove,
and the services were held at her
fathers house at three o'clock.
Throughout the entire community there
will be the deepest sympathy for Mr..
Benedict and his three motherless little
girls, and for all who suffer 10 this
bereavement ~

them at home, until they are ready to

ban. MIR. Harris. formerly Superln-

quoted as authority for saying that not
more than one in one thousand ever
made use of this study in after-life.
therefore the half hour taken from the

other 999. The relief and pleasure to
the child of a change from the routine
of the days work weighed as nothing.
Mr. Harris doubtless meant that not
one in thousand made drawing pro-
fession, for such principles as are used
in measuring distances with the eye.
and connecting points, are used almost
daily by hundreds of people. Indus
trial education was next attacked and
its disadvantages spoken of at con-
siderable length. The animated discus
sion which followed showed how sue
eessful the writer had been in accom-
plishing his purpose, which was to bring
ont arguments gather than to write

cation.
